I have now had time to try this. I did a fresh install of 8.10 RC. Wifi did not work but I turned off the Atheros Driver, rebooted and it worked perfectly. I downloaded the updates and it stopped working. I tried loading the madwifi drivers as you suggested, rebooted and it did not work.
I note that the kernel version on the clean install is 2.6.27-7-generic (Wed Oct 22) and after the new version is also called 2.6.27-7-generic (Fri Oct 24). Normally when a kernel is upgraded there is a grub option to boot to the old kernel. Perhaps if the kernels had been named differently the machine would not have been made unusable. I will now reinstall eeeUbuntu which is a shame. Intrepid with Office 3 was perfect until that upgrade. If you would like me to perform any more experiments please let me know. 2008/10/27 Luke Faraone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Oh, you have a 900! > > Per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#Wireless , please try > the blacklist fix described there. > > ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) > Sourcepackagename: None => linux > > -- > Latest update breaks WiFi on Asus EEE > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289405 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > -- Roderic Jones Trout Cottage Llanvihangel Crucorney Abergavenny Monmouthshire NP7 7NB Telephone 01873 890050 -- Latest update breaks WiFi on Asus EEE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289405 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
